I’m familiar with Jehovah’s Witnesses and your description of how LDS is organized is very similar to how JW’s are organized and operate.
Since they are one of the groups that are faster growing than the LDS, it seems plausible that the method of organization is one of the leading causes of the growth of both.

I don’t mean to seem churlish, but claims of “faster/fastest growing” need quantifiers of both percentage and numbers.
